The nose on this wine is a veritable mosaic of the amazing villages which make up blend. The blend is a super-complicated combination of La Morra (twoBrunates – La Morra and Barolo, Zonchetta), a Barolo plot in Cannubi San Lorenzo, Castiglione Falletto (2 parcels of Bricco Rocche, facing La Morra, and Rocche di Castoglione, Bussia in the Bussia Soprana section which is the finest and also Serralunga d’Alba (in Gabutti and Prapò). Federico would love to release these as three individual ‘village’ wines as opposed to a blended village Cru, but this will happen in the future. As far as this wine is concerned, it is a triumph of blending and the harmony here is extraordinary. This is a stunningly balanced wine which is forward, clean and refreshing. The fruit is cherry-soaked, tender, balanced and the tannins are crisp and juicy. This is a stunningly forward and expressive wine and it is a magnificent example of harnessing the most favourable characters of the vintage and gently coaxing these elegant tones from this myriad of vineyard sites. It is an incredibly impressive and also unnervingly sensitive Nebbiolo.Inc. TAX€375.18 -
Jancis Robinson (17+)
La Morra. Youthful mid ruby. Full, deep nose of ripe, red fruit with the merest suggestion of oak, like a seasoning more than anything. Peppery prickle on the nose and lifted, aromatic cherry notes with a hint of nutmeg. Lively, concentrated sour-cherry palate, viscous and multi-layered. Firm, but well-behaved tannins adding grip to the cherry fruit on the long finish.Inc. TAX€843.18 -
Jancis Robinson (17++)
Monforte d'Alba. Just mid ruby. Rich, full cherry fruit of great depth and focus. A little less sensuous and nervier on the palate than Brunate. Sappy raspberry and cherry fruit over a layer of firm, grainy tannins. The acidity lifts the fruit but right now it is a little austere and needs more time. Long, fragrant raspberry fruit turns up at the end.Inc. TAX€817.98 -
James Suckling (96)
Aromas of dried strawberries, cherries, charcoal and dried flowers follow through to a full body with tight, chewy tannins that are well integrated into the wine. It shows black truffle and berry in the aftertaste. Needs at least four years to open, so try after 2025.Inc. TAX€904.38

Ceretto, one year shy of its 90th anniversary is one of the long-standing classics in Piemonte, equally celebrated for the highest-quality Barolo and Barbaresco. Famous for pioneering the now-dominant practice of single-vineyard wines in the region, it is possible that Barolo would be very...
